My Perfect Weekend...A Short Post By Jessica Walker

Tim Romano, that title was for you in honor of the shallot, you're perfect onion.
This weekend was absolutely amazing. It was one of those moments when I really couldn't believe that we actually live in this amazing place, it was like a mini vacation and we didn't even leave Sydney.
Friday we unwound from the week with a few drinks just down the street at the Woollahra Hotel. On Saturday, after breakfast at Lemon in Surry Hills with Erin, Pieter, and Saskia as well as a few errands (including a stop for some beach towels and a frisbee at Bondi Junction), we set out for Bronte Beach - a mid-sized beach in between Clovelly and Tamarama beaches. The surf here is incredible and we got a front row plot of sand to watch the Bronte Boardriders in action and learn a little more about the Bronte Beach local culture. Like, if you wear underwear under your board shorts at the beach, you get an atomic wedgie. Seriously. We watched someone have his red briefs ripped through his board shorts and over his head tearing about the time the butt reached his forehead. Ouch. On Saturday night, Chris and I decided to top a wonderful day at Bronte Beach with a fabulous steak dinner at Bistro Moncur - a Woollahra institute. Most definitely, one of the best steaks in town. And they had a Cotes du Rhone on the wines du jour list - perfect!
Not to be out done by Saturday, Sunday had us at Maroubra Beach, which of all of the beaches we've been to so far, is our favorite. Sydeny's largest beach (even bigger than Bondi). It's Sydney proper's southern most beach, which means it's less crowded than most of the others. The surf is pretty intense and waves average in the 5-6 foot range, which makes for good surfing (board and body) and for splashing around near the shore.
As has become our Sunday routine, we made some dinner. This time we made our own pasta and bread from scratch turning those into Asian dumplings and chocolate chip bread for desert. Another amazing meal.
Even though the beaches (white sand and all) were fantastic and our meals were top notch, my favorite part of the weekend was spending time with Chris. Nothing compares to that and I'm so happy to be sharing this adventure with him.
